Question
Question 14 of 301077%At high temperatures is the current through a thermistor high or low?
Solution
At high temperatures, the resistance of a thermistor decreases. According to Ohm's Law, the current through a circuit is inversely proportional to the resistance. Therefore, as the resistance of the thermistor decreases, the current through it will increase. Hence, at high temperatures, the current through a thermistor is high.

The manufacturer's guide states that the thermistor has a resistance of 12 kΩ at room temperature. The student wants to confirm the accuracy of this value before starting the investigation. At room temperature, the voltmeter shows a reading of 8 V. Determine if this reading is consistent with the manufacturer's value of resistance.
